The license is the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html#SEC1">GNU General Public License (GPL)</a> and full sourcecode is available from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://panotools.sf.net/">panotools sourceforge site</a>.
</p><p><b>pano12</b> is currently used by many front-end<a class="external" href="http://wiki.panotools.org/GUI_front-ends">[*]</a> and command-line programs. The file itself may be called pano12.dll, libpano12.so, libpano12.dylib or pano12.lib depending on the operating system.
</p><p>Due to apparent patent issues with <a href="Fisheye_Projection.html" title="Fisheye Projection">fisheye</a> lenses, some distributed versions of the library (including the one hosted on sourceforge) have an artificial limitation of 160 degrees placed on the maximum <a href="Field_of_View.html" title="Field of View">Field of View</a> of source images.

<p>If you build pano12 from sourcecode<a class="external" href="http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_pano12_from_sourcecode">[*]</a>, various helper applications are built at the same time:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="PTOptimizer.html" title="PTOptimizer">PTOptimizer</a>  Optimizes positions and sizes of images using <a href="Control_points.html" title="Control points">control point</a> data.
</li>
<li> <a href="Panoinfo.html" title="Panoinfo">panoinfo</a> reports useful information about the currently installed version of pano12.
